Monday – October 3rd
@ 6:15p

If you haven’t visited the library here at King Street Patriots, you are missing out on
an opportunity to educate yourself for no cost. Borrow from a vast selection of
recently published books. But if the selection is so vast that you’re saying to
yourself “How am I going to read all the ones that I want to?”. Well, you don’t
need to. You only need to read one of them! By participating in the book summary
sharing program, you give your fellow streeters a 30 minute oral summary of the
book and dozens of them give you a series of 30 minute oral summaries of the
dozens of other books that they’ve read for you. This program will kick off
10/03/2011 with Greg Yokell’s 30 minute oral summary of Glenn Beck’s book
“Broke”.
